It's Pancake Day tomorrow. Whether you like pikelets, pancakes or crepes, savoury or sweet, here are some recipes to ensure you have a flipping good time on Shrove Tuesday.
Basic pancake recipe (Makes 8 pancakes)
- 115g plain flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 300ml milk
- 25g unsalted butter, melted
- Vegetable oil
Sift the flour and salt together, beat the egg into the milk and whisk into the flour. Rest the batter for 30 minutes if you have time. Add melted butter.
Warm the pan well and rub lightly with kitchen paper dipped in oil. Put some batter in the pan and tilt the pan so that the mix covers the base in a thin layer.
Cook for 15-20 seconds until the edges curl and the underside is golden. Flip and cook on the other side. Turn out and keep warm. Repeat until the batter in finished.

- Did you know the name Shrove comes from the old word shrive, which means to confess? On Shrove Tuesday, people would confess their sins so they had forgiveness before Lent. See more Pancake Day facts.
